Can anyone let me know how well printing using TCP/IP 
over Ethernet works?  How well does the AS/400 pick up
problems at the printer (ie. Paper Out, Forms Jams, etc.)
Let's assume V4R1.  Hopefully, we'll be at V4R1 in a 
couple of weeks if Emery doesn't damage our next
620 again. 

I'm also looking at label printers which can handle IGP.
These, apparently, don't have Ethernet hookups since
they use a parallel port.  Would it be better to use a PC
with NetSoft to print labels or a JetDirect card connected
to the printer and Ethernet?

Are there better options?  How about opinions?

Thanks in advance,
Marc Zylka (mzylka@netpath.net)
